About Me
I am Jim Fritzen, a proud American independent of political parties.
My Roots and Perspective
I am an accountant. My life is well “balanced”.
It started in high school when my guidance counselor insisted, I declare a major for my college applications. I was seventeen and didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up. To placate my well-intentioned counselor, I declared music as my major.
I am a self-taught guitar player. Music as a major didn’t last past my audition, so I needed to find something else to study.
I took an entry level accounting class. Accounts need to balance. It made sense to me. My accounting career started in 1976 and I retired in 2023.
It is from that foundation I am launching Cooler Heads.
